Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

A first-year applicant can explain a laboratory, design, coding, robotics, or maker project by naming the problem, their contribution, and how they checked the result.

Connect your interest to a medical-technology problem without claiming clinical or engineering expertise you have not yet developed.
